Baked Cauliflower, Onions, and Chick Peas

I love vegetables, and I cook a large amount every week.  Usually I cook my vegetables on the stove, but lately I have enjoyed baking my vegetables.  The flavor and texture are all together different.  I am hooked on baking in the oven.  Until we have our 100+ degree summer, I will keep baking my vegetables in the oven.  Try it, experiment and the main one thing to remember, just have fun!

Place in large bowl
I head of cauliflower, washed and rinsed well. 
Cut the florets in bit size pieces
1onion sliced thinly
1 can of chick peas – well drained

Measure
1/3 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons ground thyme
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon black ground pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder or 6 clove garlic chopped
I also realize there are many of you which do not prefer the taste of curry.  No problem, leave it out, I am most sure the vegetables will be just as awesome to your liking.  But if you do like curry, the thyme and curry are explosive together.

Thoroughly mix the vegetables, olive oil and seasoning until well coated.
Place vegetables on a sided cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for one hour tossing a couple of times to make sure vegetables cook evenly.

Let sit for 15 minutes before serving.    Serve with fish, salmon, chicken or beef.  You will enjoy and do not forget the wine!  Let's Have Some Fun!
